host: marty makary is our guest, a surgeon at johns hopkins in baltimore. the numbers are on your screen. the book is "unaccountable." you take on hospital executive pay. why? guest: i talked to doctors and nurses around the country. they feel there is a growing gap between the front line doctors and their own managers. increasingly, i hear doctors and nurses say one of their frustrations is their own management. last year there were a record number of mergers and acquisitions in health care. some say these hospitals can be too big to fail. have to wonder if things go bad like the did it st. vincent's hospital in new york, who will take care of that population? i to take on the children's hospital that had a fund-raiser that asked children to collect pennies from other kids were the ceo made about $3 million a year. i think the general public is starving for honesty in health care. i have made mistakes with patients. i find they are starving for the kind of honesty. host: have you ever been sued? guest: i have never been sued but most doctors will be sued o
